My Hero Academia – Season 2 Part 1 Review
The latest big hit from all powerful weekly manga magazine Shonen Jump!, My Hero Academia turned plenty of heads when it first appeared in anime form in 2016, and the second season only added more momentum to the series’ worldwide popularity. This set collects the first twelve episodes of Season 2, a complete story arc based around a tournament! There’s an original concept! … Seriously though, it’s great. So let’s see why!

Occultic;Nine Part 1 Review
Occultic;Nine is a thrilling journey of discovery, the paranormal, and what happens when a series makes no sense and yet keeps you entertained. While certainly not for everyone, this is an anime that just wants to show you something a little bit different.

Dragon Ball Super Episodes 119 – 131 Review
It’s been a long and crazy road since Dragon Ball Super began in July 2015, but now the series has come to an end (well, with at least one more movie to come, and an ongoing manga still being written…) What the Universe Survival Arc lacked in storyline it made up for in great, over-the-top action, and that still held true for this last block of episodes. So let’s take a look, shall we...!

Skip Beat! Review
Skip Beat! is quirky, funny and enjoyable, with easily likeable characters and great lessons on how to be the best person you can be for yourself, and no one else. It was a Kickstarter success for a reason; don't miss it.

Napping Princess Review
Napping Princess is an entertaining, family-friendly offering that only loses its way due to an unfortunate case of trying to do too much. If you can overlook this, then you’re in for a great time.

Dragon Ball Z – Movie Collection 6 Review
Dragon Ball Z Movie Collection 6 brings together the final two movies from the 1989 – 1995 run of 13 DBZ movies, the two movies that for the longest time were plainly “the final two Dragon Ball movies”. Past villains escaping from Hell, fusion, fart gags, a cartoon interpretation of Hitler and Godzilla parodies are all on offer here, but the big question remains, does this run of 45-minute films end on a high note…?

Fruits Basket Collector’s Edition Review
Fruits Basket is a sweet shojo series with a loveable cast of characters. Anyone looking for a typical shojo series might be disappointed, but that doesn’t take away from the charm on offer here. It’s a great release that’s only brought down by the lack of romantic development and some terrible video issues.

Princess Arete Review
Princess Arete is a lacklustre fairy tale story that attempts to break the mould but doesn’t quite manage it, thanks to an overly long run-time and lack of meaningful character development.

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 31 Review
After two releases containing nearly nothing but adaptations of the manga, Naruto Shippuden Box Set 31 falls into a filler-fest, to the sad surprise of nobody. But is the filler here any good, or is it so bad it’s worth losing the few “canon” episodes contained in this set by skipping it? Let’s find out!

Dragon Ball Z – Movie Collection Five Review
The Legendary Super Saiyan known as Broly is, undoubtedly, the most Marmite character in the Dragon Ball franchise. The phrase “you either love him or hate him” may as well be made for him, as seemingly most fans land on one side or the other, but does the truth lie somewhere in the middle? Let’s take a look at Manga Entertainment’s 5th movie collection, bringing together all three of Broly’s movies, and see, shall we?
